Thirteen sets of twins graduated in the Class of the 2010 last month, three sets more than the previous record set in Massachusetts in 2007.

“We were waiting for a couple of months and I wasn’t expecting anything,” Misiewicz told the Republican-American. “Then I got the package. The first thing I thought was to tell everyone because it’s not just about me, so I went on Facebook and sent everyone a message. This isn’t a huge feat, but I mean it’s something and anyone would take that.”

Raymond J. Grey Jr. High School, in Acton, Massachusetts, set the graduating twins record in the 2006-07 year, according to several news reports.

Child Stars Then and Now

The Pomperaug students told NBC Connecticut in October that there was a fee of several hundred dollars to open an account with the Guinness Book of World Records and apply for a title. They planned to fundraise and it seems like that undertaking was successful.

But, the Republican-American reports, Pomperaug’s twins are not assured inclusion in the upcoming edition of the preeminent record book. But the recognition of setting a record is enough.

“It’s something you get to carry on,” Jake Critelli said. “To tell someone you made a world record, even if we didn’t have to do much to earn it, is still pretty cool.”

Long-Lost Celebrity Twins

Thirteen sets, however, does not set a record for the number of twins in a school. That honor goes to Louis Marshall School in Brooklyn, New York, according to the newspaper. Twenty-nine sets of twins attended the high school during the 1999-2000 school year.
